Yesterday Biden’s hack press secretary was asked about illegal border crossings border and claimed that June had the single largest month-to-month drop in illegal crossings because of Biden’s policies.
Watch below:
KJP: "The President has done more to secure the border to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has. June saw the single largest month-to-month drop in unlawful border crossings b/c of the policies [he] out in place…We secured record funding" pic.twitter.com/69JgZqSR92

But Bill Melugin says hold up! June was months ago in border months and that KJP is ignoring all the recent data on illegal crossings.
He cites the skyrocketing of apprehensions in both July and August, with the latter almost doubling June’s numbers:
KJP: “June saw the largest single month to month drop in unlawful border crossings because of the policies this president put in place.”
June was months ago. KJP ignores the new & recent surging numbers.
Border Patrol apprehensions:
June: 99,539
July: 132,652
August: 177,000 https://t.co/qwvnhFOizi— Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) September 1, 2023
As if 99k was ever a good number in the first place. These are just apprehensions and they do NOT include gotaways.
